Since the EU's implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in May 2018, numerous fines have been issued for violations or non-compliance. Of these, the fine of 1.2 billion euros received by Meta Platforms, Inc. in May 2023 has been by far the greatest. The company was issued such a penalty for personal data transfers to the United States without sufficiently complying with the EU regulation.
